Report upon the Varieties of the Pea, 



No. 41. Maple Grey Pea. 



English Synonyms. Marlborough— Partridge Grey. 



About seven feet and a half high and very robust. Pods broad 

 and rather long, containing seven or eight peas which are like those 

 of the preceding kind but much smaller and not black eyed. This 

 is a good bearer and the flowers are much lighter coloured than 

 those of No. 40. 



No. 42. Spanish Marotta. 



French Synonyms. A ceil noir— Michaux a ceil noir. 



English Synonyms. Tall Black Spotted Marotta— Black spotted. 



About six feet high and rather slender. Pods small and nearly 

 round, containing seven peas of a yellow colour, black eyed, small 

 and round. It is very productive and tolerably good if gathered 

 when young, as it is by no means so bitter as the other Grey peas 

 when boiled. 



No. 43. Bean Pea. 



English Synonym. Funnel's Black Spotted. 



About eight or nine feet high and very robust. Pods long, broad 

 and not much pointed, containing nine or ten peas of a yellowish 

 white colour, black eyed, and having some resemblance to small 

 horse beans when ripe. It is very productive, but only fit for field 

 culture, as it is rather bitter when boiled, although not so bitter as 

 Grey peas in general.
